A Numerical Study of Methods for Moist Atmospheric Flows: Compressible Equations

Max Duarte, Ann S. Almgren, Kaushik Balakrishnan +2

We investigate two common numerical techniques for integrating reversible moist processes in atmospheric flows in the context of solving the fully compressible Euler equations. The…

The Deflagration Stage of Chandrasekhar Mass Models For Type Ia Supernovae: I. Early Evolution

C. M. Malone, A. Nonaka, S. E. Woosley +4

We present high-resolution, full-star simulations of the post-ignition phase of Type Ia supernovae using the compressible hydrodynamics code Castro. Initial conditions, including t…

Cosmological Fluid Mechanics with Adaptively Refined Large Eddy Simulations

W. Schmidt, A. S. Almgren, H. Braun +6

We investigate turbulence generated by cosmological structure formation by means of large eddy simulations using adaptive mesh refinement. In contrast to the widely used implicit l…

Carbon Deflagration in Type Ia Supernova: I. Centrally Ignited Models

H. Ma, S. E. Woosley, C. M. Malone +2

A leading model for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) begins with a white dwarf near the Chandrasekhar mass that ignites a degenerate thermonuclear runaway close to its center and explod…

Nyx: A Massively Parallel AMR Code for Computational Cosmology

Ann Almgren, John Bell, Mike Lijewski +2

We present a new N-body and gas dynamics code, called Nyx, for large-scale cosmological simulations. Nyx follows the temporal evolution of a system of discrete dark matter particle…
